Day 3 begins

I have a decent connection at the hotel so thought I would get a quick entry in before we start the day.

Had an excellent dinner last night, the food once again was magnificent and the staff here at the Riebeck Valley Hotel certainly went the extra mile, must say the Lemon Cheesecake had to be the best part of the meal.......

We leave at 0830 for the first real challenge of our tour, we have about 6,3km (according to Steve - we have no faith in his distances :-) ) before the nonsense starts with a small but challenging climb towards Wellington, thereafter we turn towards Ceres and Worcester and up Baines Kloof Pass, we are planning lunch at the top of the pass at the Calabash Bush Pub and then cross the Breede river before hitting the second climb Mitchells Pass, we end off with about 110km in the town of Ceres.

Now I am not the best of climbers and today is looking a tad scary for me, so I think I will be at the back of the pack for the majority of the ride.

I will report back with the details of today's ride a little later on. To those of you at work enjoy your days.
